    Well too much volume? personal opinion.

    Just stick to something like

    Deadlifts
    Cable rows
    Lat pulldowns
    Chins/Pullups
    Straight BB curls
    Incline Db curls
    Shrugs

    Agreed! I think you would get to tired and you wouldn't be able to focus all your energy into those muscles. If you want fast gains, Volume is not where it is, cause I do about the same workout ATeeGee said and its a great workout.

    I think its perfect. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and it is not too many exercises. 5 exercises for back, and 3-4 for biceps.

    Too many exercises, just you stated that you would do 'back machines, bicep machines. I mean i really dont know how many you are going to use for sets and reps...

    My back/biceps on my pull day, which i did today is.

    Chins: 3x8-10 (add weight when you can perform 10+ reps for 3 sets)
    Dumbell pullovers: 3x10-12
    Lat pulldowns: 3x10-12
    Bent over rows: 3x5
    Deadlifts: 3x5 (2 sets ramping weight, 1 set stabalizer)
    Incline curls: 3x8-10
    Straight bar curls: 2x10-12
    Dumbell shrugs: 3x10-12

    The back portion of the workout seems fine (maybe a tad bit too many sets on all of those), but the biceps are being WAY overdone. It's a very tiny muscle, and they're already being worked from the back workout, so there's no need to smash them into the ground like that. Work them to failure on iso curls and maybe a standing EZ bar curl, then get out. Any more than that and you're just spinning your wheels.

    WAYYY too much volume bro.

    You're 15 concentrate on core lifts.

    Deadlifts
    Rows
    Pull Ups
    Chins

    Those will all hit back/traps/biceps in one lift.

    Quality > quantity, just because you CAN stay in the gym for 3 hours a day does not mean you should. We're trying to help him find a volume that is more appropriate for gains rather than over training the muscle. An extra exercise or two can cause over training and a decrease in muscle size, I don't think he wants that.

    Because sometimes, you could make just as much progress on a smaller amount of sets...

    Deadlift 5x5
    BB row 5x5
    Shrugs 3x12 (for more hypertrophy)
    DB curls alternating between hammer and normal each set (4 sets)

    If you need more i'd add some chin ups and pull ups but phuck machines, they assist your range of motion so they don't force your muscles to adapt and stabilize how they do with free weights.
